Global Perspec Env Health

3 Credits · Level: Undergraduate

Full title: Global Perspectives on Environmental Protection and Health. This course uses a cross between conceptual and experiential approaches to teach the relationships between environmental protections, human health, and government regulations. It focuses on the core concepts embedded in U.S. and international governance frameworks, using individual statutes and cases as examples, and by the end of the course students will have a thorough understanding of major health and environment protection concepts. An important issue to consider during this course is to understand that without good science, there can be no meaningful environmental law or policy, and without good environmental protections, human health protections cannot exist.
